Incomedia WebSite X5 lets you create websites, e-commerce shopping carts, blogs, digital photo albums and interactive presentations easily and quickly. The projects are developed with a tree-like structure and organized in menus with various levels: there is no limit to the number of pages you can add.

Each page can have a different layout, and you can complete it with many different kinds of objects, such as text, images, tables, galleries, videos, audio, contact forms, comments and votes, maps, animation, product and article lists, titles, search fields and HTML objects, menus, plus dynamic contents and whatever optional objects you choose to install.

WebSite X5 offers numerous interesting features for editing pictures, which means you won't need any other graphics programs. Pictures are automatically compressed when they are saved so you don't even have to worry about optimizing your photos before including them in a page.

Artificial Intelligence Support

longside traditional tools, WebSite X5 integrates AI-based features:

MagicSite: an assistant that, starting from the information provided in chat, automatically generates a complete project with structure, texts, images, and graphic template.
MagicText: an assistant for text generation and translation, useful for creating high-quality content, improving SEO, or overcoming writer’s block.

Additional Professional Features

In addition to the basic functions, WebSite X5 offers numerous professional tools that allow you to create complete and advanced websites. You can manage blogs and RSS feeds, create reserved areas with password access, and set up online stores with integrated carts and payment systems. Access statistics and project analysis tools are also available, as well as features dedicated to SEO optimization and the creation of multi-language websites. Finally, projects can be made responsive by working on breakpoints: in this way, you can ensure the correct display of content on any device, from desktop to smartphone.

At the end of the work, WebSite X5 provides an integrated hosting service that allows you to publish the completed project directly online, without the need for external FTP programs.

Working with WebSite X5

You can start by choosing a template or by asking MagicSite to set up a custom project. In any case, to develop or customize the project, simply follow the guided procedure of WebSite X5, which leads you step by step to the online publication of the created website.

The steps that take you from a simple idea to a published and visible website are only 5:

1. Settings

General information about the website is defined, such as the title, description, and author of the site, which are also useful for indexing on search engines. It is also possible to activate functions such as blog, e-commerce cart, access management, visit statistics, and SEO optimizations.

2. Template

The chosen template is customized by modifying the page structure, the header, and the footer, with the possibility of adding logos, texts, or background images. The styles of the website elements, such as texts, links, fields, and buttons, are also defined to establish a consistent graphic identity. For responsive websites, breakpoints can be used to optimize the layout according to different resolutions, from desktop to smartphone.

3. Map

The tree structure of the website is set starting from the Home Page, organizing pages and subpages on multiple levels. The map can be modified at any time and determines the automatic generation of the navigation menu.

4. Pages

The individual pages of the website are created and laid out by dragging and positioning the available objects, including texts, images, tables, videos, audio, galleries, data collection forms, product catalogs, and many more. The objects can be customized and completed with internal or external links. In responsive websites, the page structure can be adapted to the different identified breakpoints.

5. Export

The website is published using the integrated FTP engine, which allows you to transfer the necessary files online with secure connections and incremental publishing mode. The software also includes a hosting service that makes it possible to put the created website online immediately. Before publishing, it is possible to start the project analysis, useful for improving SEO and optimizing file sizes. Alternatively, the project can be exported to a local disk or saved as a backup copy.

 

Some of the mentioned functions, such as the dynamic contents, the online shop and the Magic Text AI, are available only for the  Pro edition of the software.
